Super Saturday

This is our first weekend in Nashville since this journey began. Today, he spent his time in the hospital. His fever is up and down, but thank God, it is more down than up now. His throat is still extremely sore. As he states it, on a scale of a 1 - 10 with 10 being extreme pain, his throat is a 50. His counts are very low and a transfusion may be in the works.
Doctor Keedy, his oncologist, was on call this weekend, so we have had access to her advice and expertise all weekend (beginning yesterday).
Hopefully, that which has really depleted his body is also depleting the cancer as well.
I spent some of my day at the Lodge, some at the hospital, talking to Ruthie and Brooks on the phone, and eating lunch and hanging out with my sweet sisters (Kay, Carolyn, and Diane) who came up for the day. Ruthie was coming, but is still recuperating from her recent heart attack. She thought that she might have a problem being wheeled around (huge)Vanderbilt Hospital in a wheelchair.(We missed her!)
Even though he is not a "hospital person", apparently he is not ready to come home- since he has not really been complaining.
Pray that his counts start coming up soon. He is really "beaten down" physically, but continues to have that "let's get this over with" spirit.

Enjoy one of God's beautiful days tomorrow,
Cathy
